Messenger RNA mRNA (messenger RNA) is the mediating template between DNA and proteins. The information from a particular gene is transferred from a strand of DNA by the construction of a complementary strand of RNA through a

RNA RNA (ribonucleic acid) is an information encoded strand of nucleotides , similar to DNA , but with a slightly different chemical structure. There are three main forms of RNA, each a slightly different function. mRNA

for proteins by creating messenger RNA (mRNA), Venter set his focus on mRNA. He began making sturdier clone copies of the otherwise fragile mRNA; and these stronger and analyzable copies he called cDNAs . By sequencing only the cDNAs he could

edited out. It is coded into messenger RNA by the process that reads the raw cellular DNA. This fact leads to an interesting double-mindedness on the part of Daniel Kevles, historian of science, and Leroy Hood, molecular geneticist. On the one
